TheNYCMove day 5: Chicago, Ill.

by ThePete 8:10 pm 2008-05-16

Remember when "ill" meant something cool? Before that, it pretty muchmeant what it does now. However, in this context it means neither–itmeans Illinois, which is where we are.

The room is actually quite large, has a fridge *and* a microwave, alongwith the standard coffee maker. Sadly, we haven’t had Comedy Centralsince the Best Western in Fillmore, Utah. Ah, Daily Show, how we missthee!

Today’s drive? Smooth and boring. Tomorrow? To Cleveland. It will beour last night in a hotel, but not the last night of the trip. We’ll bestaying with TheWife’s cousin in Jersey for a night and then up to theancient island of Manhat.

by ThePete 2:10 pm 2008-05-16

Wow, if New England had a clone, Iowa City would be it. Serioussmall-town charm here! Too bad we got stuck in rush hour traffic andhad to get back on route 80 before we could find a place to eat as wehad planned. :(

TheNYCMove day 5: Driving Thru Iowa

by ThePete 10:53 am 2008-05-16

As expexted, Iowa is beautiful but nearly identical to Nebraska sohere’s a pic of us in the cab of our moving van. Oh and FYI, we stoppedin at a Target this morning and I bought a razor so I can shave(finally). Another FYI, the Garmin has us into Chicago at 8:12 CTtonight, but it’l probably be later than that since we’ll stop at leastonce for gas.

TheNYCMove day 4: Gues Where We Are

by ThePete 7:09 pm 2008-05-15

Puke. This is a guide book I picked up in the lobby of our hotel
tonight and it’s filled with horribly posed models smiling obnoxiously.
Each new one I see makes me hate Omaha a little more and the sad thing
is that I have zero experience with the city. According to TheMom it’s
a pretty cool place.

I just wish they had hired a marketting firm that was cool. >_<

TheNYCMove day 4: WTH is THIS?

by ThePete 3:52 pm 2008-05-15

Some sort of gateway-bridge-to-the-west memorial thingy was all I could
get as we zoomed by. Anyone know what this is?

TheNYCMove day 4: WTH are These?

TheNYCMove day 4: Mystery Cop

by ThePete 2:38 pm 2008-05-15

This cop was following us for a while, flashing his lights. We started
to slow down to pull over when he zoomed past us and pulled over the SUV
that was in front of us (and in the pic).

When the speed limit is 75 mph and you *still* get pulled over for
speeding, you probably *are* going too fast.

Just sayin’…

TheNYCMove day 4: Bible Camp

by ThePete 2:25 pm 2008-05-15

Almost missed this shot! Caught just before seeing signs for Maxwell,
Nebraska. We’re guessing this is where the coffee comes from.

TheNYCMove day 4: Nebraska…

by ThePete 11:42 am 2008-05-15

ya!

TheNYCMove day 3: TheCats in Their Cells

by ThePete 8:53 pm 2008-05-14

TheNYCMove day 3: TheCats in Their Cells. Here are Ecks and Zaphod in
their prison cells as we travel across the USA. This pic was taken
during a stop for gas. I wanted to give them a change of scenery as
today’s drive was over 9 hours long. Usually, they hang out in between
our seats in the moving van’s cab.

As I type this they are already happily acclimated to the hotel room in
Cheyenne. Pic of tonight’s room to follow.

TheNYCMove day 3: Tunnels

by ThePete 8:47 pm 2008-05-14

So I guess they just didn’t want to tear down a short mountain for this
road, hence the tunnel. There’s not a *whole* lot to look at in Wyoming
so far…

TheNYCMove day 3: DAMn!

by ThePete 8:35 pm 2008-05-14

It’s the dam for the Jordanelle Resevoir not too far from Park City,
Utah.

Ha.

TheNYCMove day 3: Leaving Fillmore, Utah

by ThePete 9:36 am 2008-05-14

The Best Western in Fillmore was MUCH nicer than that cheapy Red Roof
Inn we stayed in last night. We had actually bottles of shampoo and a
coffe maker *in* the room! WOW! Dinner was at the Garden of Eat’n
(right outside our hotel room door) and their Mushroom burger was pretty
good, actually.

Now it’s on to Cheyenne, which the Garmin says we’ll get to at around
8pm MT. That’s right–we passed through a timezone yesterday. I wish
there had been a sign on the road or something.

Anyway, so it’s a loooong day so I should go and uh… well, uh, look at
the midwest go by, I guess.

TheNYCMove day 2: Hotel in Fillmore

by ThePete 7:38 pm 2008-05-13

Man, just our second hotel room and they’re already starting to look
alike. ^_^

At least the cats are much less nervous tonight. The bed has a board
around the bottom so they can’t hide underneath. This is forcing them
to be more adventurous–just like us! Huzzah!

ADVENTURE CATS (in color!)

TheNYCMove day 2: Almost to Fillmore, Utah!

by ThePete 7:00 pm 2008-05-13

Note the checkered flag–that’s tonight’s destination! Very exciting!
They better have a tub and free wifi! Don’t worry, I won’t use them at
the same time.
